Effective but humorous book about a girl who lives with her divorced father, and visits her mother occasionally. They lead a comfortable, orderly life until her father brings home Mary and her son Sean. Katy finds it difficult to share her home, her toys and most of all her dad. A book to share or for a child to read alone. The serious, difficult situation is tempered by the zany visual jokes.
